Good trip. Lots of whales. Crew was good and informative. - We were promised a link for pictures from the trip and have not received it. We may have given the wrong email. We were on the 11am tour yesterday. Our email is [email protected]. Thank you.

Amazing - We had an absolute blast. Our captain and guide were the best. We didn’t use the hydrophones because too many boats kept coming in the same area. If I ever come back to visit I will differently do it again.

Whale watching at its best - We were so lucky on this trip. Actually had a whale swim under our boat for a fantastic view. The scenery was amazing and we always felt in safe hands on the boat. A little bit of a walk to find the right pick up spot but once on the boat it was superb. Love to go back and see it all again.

Pleasant Outing, although not exactly as described - Our Captain did a great job helping us find whales, even though we were weeks before the season. It was a pleasant 2 hours in the Sea of Cortez with a few whale sightings. We didn't have a glass bottom boat, although it's not terribly important for our trip. But we felt safe and the Captain did a great job.

Whale of a good time - We loved it. Was able to see whales and seals. It would have been better if the guide spoke English.

What a Hassle - I booked the tour several weeks prior based on the website. description. I did not receive what I paid for. The link on my ticket for the dock location sent me to the wrong location, so I missed my 8am tour. I sent several chats to the vendor that morning but never received a response. I had to take a water taxi clear across the harbor to get to the correct dock. I was able to get on an 11am tour. However, it was a much smaller boat than pictured with no hydrophones. We did see whales. I booked this tour through Best Cabo Tours, and the night before the tour I received communication that my provider would be Bluefish tours. When I first started looking for them ar 7:30am at what turned out to be the correct dock ar the correct time, the people at the docks has no idea who I was looking for. And the directions link on my ticket kept sending me all the way around the harbor, so those were the directions I followed. To the completely wrong place. Once at the correct dock, I received excellent help from Miguel. He was most understanding and also lots of fun. The boat was the Blessing, with Capitan Israel and Lydia, both very nice. Whales were seen, and it was a beautiful trip, but not worth the consistent hassle of wrong location, different boat, and no hydrophones. I deserve a full refund via my method of payment plus water taxi reimbursement.
